On Wednesday, May 23 during the School Field Day, we are going to have a "Used Book Exchange" in the library.

Here's how it will work. During the week of May 14, each child may bring up to 3 gently used books from home. The student council will pick these books up from the classrooms and record the number of books each student brings, up to 3. More than 3 books can be brought to school, but they will be considered a donation to the fair and greatly appreciated. We are especially on the look-out for higher-level chapter books.

Parents, please check the books the children bring to school to see if they are age appropriate and are also ones that you are willing to exchange.

On May 23, each student who donates a book will visit the library to pick out "New to Me" books. IF there are enough books, the exchange will then be opened up to other students.

Hopefully, this fair will promote summertime reading and will be another fun activity during Field Day. Thanks for your help with this.

Kindergarten Camp helps familiarize children with the life of a kindergartner and includes:

This class will explore the many aspects of drawing. The students will work with a variety of tools, techniques, and mediums. Students will experience contour drawing, gesture drawing, landscapes, still-life, and perspective. Both inside and outside activities are planned, weather permitting. All elements of art will be discussed. Lessons will be adapted to levels of ability and age.

This class will explore the various ways of "hand-building" with (air dry) clay. The students will explore the PINCH, SLAB, AND COIL methods of building with clay. The elements of art will be discussed and applied through the building of projects and idea sketches before working with the clay.

A camp for students wanting to learn about, build, and participate in robot competitions! Our major competitions will be SUMO, Capture the Flag, Dragster, Obstacle MAZE, and for those who really like a challenge, "King of the Hill"!

Who is Robotics Camp for?

Students who will be entering 5th through 8th grades for the 2018-2019 school year. Students attending robotics camp for a second or third time will be placed in advanced/enrichment groups dealing with new robotics concepts and challenges.
